Men are also more likely to develop conditions associated with reduced glutathione or higher oxidative stress, including, More visceral fat than women, which drives insulin resistance 49 Higher rates of sleep apnea, another contributor to oxidative stress 50 Cardiovascular disease, which occurs about 710 years earlier in men than in women on average 51 As estrogen declines through perimenopause and menopause for womenand remains lower in men overalldifferences in glutathione activity likely reflect hormonal influence as much as sex-based biology, Tennant says
In a mouse study, green coffee bean extract, a rich source of chlorogenic acid, significantly reduced visceral fat accumulation and improved insulin sensitivity, effects that may have been due to suppression of genes associated with fat deposition and inflammation (Song 2014)
